    Not as a general rule. This might be the case in the US, but in Germany raw pork is a pretty normal thing to eat (“Mett”), and it’s safe.

      It’s safe because of food regulations though…

      In Germany, the meat used for mett is strictly regulated. It’s illegal to sell raw mett the day after it was ground — if butchers want to use the leftovers, they must be cooked. The risk of food poisoning is minimized by making sure that the mett stays cold right up to the point it’s served, per Atlas Obscura.

      You can kill it with heat or cold, they kill it with cold, and keep it cold.

      Like. People eat sushi all the time, that doesn’t mean you can buy a fish from the grocery store and eat it raw, it hasn’t been specifically prepared so it’s safe.

      Please stop talking about food safety

        You said earlier:

        The reason it’s so rare is people finally stopped eating undercooked pork.

        This is a blatant lie, as seen by the example of people eating raw pork and NOT getting sick.

        It’s safe because of food regulations though…

        Yes, of course. Did I say anything different?

        Please stop talking about food safety

        Please take a look in the mirror.

          Mett is raw pork like a raw unfrozen fish from a fish market is sushi…

          I literally just linked you an article explaining that and how the only reason it’s safe is strict regulations.

          Regulations that are specific to mett and doesn’t make all pork safe.

          I just can’t anymore tho, hopefully no one takes your advice.

            My guy, do you notice how you have to invert the comparison for it to make sense? Mett is raw pork. You said raw pork can’t be eaten safely. Mett can be eaten safely. It’s not that hard to understand - with proper regulations, raw pork is safe to eat.
